The following precautions are the sole responsibility of the user; however, authorized Directed dealers should:
• Never use a test light or logic probe when installing this unit. Always use a multimeter.
• Never operate the system in an enclosed or partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage).
• When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start system must
be disabled using the installed toggle switch. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from
children all remote controls to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle.
• USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE.
ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE
STORAGE AREA MUST REMAIN CLOSED AT ALL TIMES.
Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or
death. Except when performing the Safety Check outlined in this installation guide, (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with
the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user is responsible for having the
neutral safety feature of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear.
This testing should be performed by an authorized Directed dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this product
installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with the user to fix the problem
immediately.
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF
OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
OR PERSONAL INJURY. IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE
START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.
Remote starters for manual transmission pose significant risks if not properly installed and operated. When testing to ensure the
installation is working properly, only remote start the vehicle in neutral gear, on a flat surface and with a functional, fully engaged
parking brake. Do not allow anyone to stand in front of or behind the vehicle.
This product should not be installed in any convertible vehicles, soft or hard top with a manual transmission. Installation in such
vehicles may pose certain risk.

Firmware notes: This section highlights important information for this specific firmware and will assist in
pricing accordingly, as well as bringing awareness to any operational or vehicle limitations.
ENGINE
STARTER
If the vehicle is equipped with an Add-On Lexus/Toyota OEM remote starter: The factory remote starter must be
permanently disconnected before programming the Directed interface as both modules cannot coexist. See locating the
OEM Remote Start on page 5.
If the vehicle is equipped with a BCM Enabled Lexus/Toyota OEM remote starter: The vehicle does not have a physical
remote starter and only one module can be programed at a time. In this case temporally disable the OEM remote start
system using the following process:
1. Remove the fuse powering the OEM Remote Starter. See locating the fuse powering the OEM Remote Starter on
page 5.
2. Perform a module reset, see page 34.
3. Perform the Module Programming steps on page 31.
4. After programming is successful replace the fuse powering the OEM Remote Starter.
Unless specified otherwise, all connectors are displayed from the wire side, with the exception of the OBDII diagnostic
connector.
It is important to check that the fuses are positioned correctly in the module. Refer to the "Fuse selection" section following
each installation type for more information.
Refer to the "Vehicle wiring reference chart" following each installation type.

When the flashing operation is successful, you can proceed with the instructions below.
Additional connections required for vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (if not supported by firmware)
Connection Description
(-) E-Brake Status Input Must be connected to a working emergency brake in the vehicle. Although most vehicles have simple
(Black/White, pin 17) (-) trigger emergency brake circuits note some vehicles do not and may require unique integration
methodologies.
(-) Door Trigger Input Must be connected to a working door trigger in the vehicle, which monitors all doors. The unit must monitor
(Green, pin 20) OR the door pins to allow the Ready Mode process to be enabled.
(+) Door Input (Violet, pin Note: Some vehicles may require unique integration methodologies for this circuit.

(AC) Tachometer Input Must be connected to a working tachometer signal in the vehicle (fuel injector, ignition coil, true tach, etc.)
(Violet/White, pin 22) and learned successfully to the DS4+.
RF Systems
An RF System consists of one or multiple remotes, a Control Center (antenna), and an antenna cable – various combinations exist.
An RF System allows the vehicle owner to control the system with enhanced range. Two-way models are available. Please follow
the instructions included with the kit for appropriate installation and programming information.
Your Combo Sensor is preset for the majority of applications, however it can be adjusted using the DirectLink application, as well
as a compatible LED or LCD remote. Please refer to the instructions included with your sensor for more information on how to make
adjustments.

* If the Control Center (antenna) was not included in your kit, the tach can be programmed using the programming button directly
on the main module.
Note: When the tachometer is programmed, the main module automatically enters the Tachometer engine checking mode.
Initializing Virtual Tach (not needed with hardwired or data tach applications)
To program Virtual Tach:
1. After the install is complete, remote start the engine. The programming operation may require 3 cranks of the starter before the
engine starts and runs. Do not turn off the remote start if this happens, it is a normal programming operation.
2. Once the engine begins running, let it run for at least 30 seconds.
3. Using the Remote, send the Remote start command to turn remote start off. Virtual Tach is programmed. To reset Virtual Tach, a
module reset must be done.
Note: Virtual Tach cannot be used in Manual Transmission Mode. It is also not recommended for diesel trucks.
Virtual Tach handles disengaging the starter motor during remote starting – it does not address over-rev. If the customer wants to
have the over-rev protection capability, the tach wire or data tach must be used.
Important! After successfully learning Virtual Tach, a small minority of vehicle starters may over crank or under crank during remote
start. Use the VirtualTach Fine tune feature in the configuration wizard to adjust the starter output time in 50mS increments to
compensate for such an occurrence.
